Sir,
I saw, a day or so since, in one of the
Richmond papers,- your notice, that the annual
Election for Demonstrator of Anatomy in the Richmond
Med College would be held soon, and that all
applications should be made to you, by the 6th of
this month.
Feeling assured that the position would
be of advantage to me in the prosecution of a
branch of my profession, I have had some
experience in, and am ardently devoted to -
and that its duties would only require my
attention at a season of the year, not usually
devoted to active operation in the field, and
therefore not apt to conflict with that duty
we all owe our country. I have the honor to
solicit the appointment, altho[ugh] I regret that the
notice has been too brief for me to collect and
forward the necessary testimonials regarding
qualifications etc. I will therefore state that
I am a graduate of and for two years occupied
the chair of Anatomy & Physiology in the Winchester
Medical College Va, and can only refer you
now to the annual catalogues & circular of that
Institution, for the years 59&60 60&61 as

Letter from J.W. Walls asking that he be considered as an applicant for the Demonstrator of Anatomy position.
